Ingredients for Slow Cooker Angel Chicken
- Chicken – 2-3 large boneless chicken breasts is what you will need. You can use fresh or frozen chicken.
- Cream cheese – you will need 4 oz cream cheese (1/2 a brick) softened to room temperature. I like full fat for maximum creaminess, but this will also work fine with light cream cheese.
- Cream of chicken soup – my favorite brand (and what I always recommend) for cream soups is Pacific Foods. Most grocery stores carry it. It’s a bit more expensive than Campbell’s or store brand versions of condensed soup, but the flavor and simplicity of ingredients (no weird chemicals) is well worth it.
- Dry Italian dressing mix – this comes in a 1 oz packet and is usually located near the ranch dressing packets. The brand I buy is Good Seasons.
- Butter – I prefer to use unsalted butter as the Italian seasoning mix already adds some saltiness to the dish.
- Chicken broth – you only need a small amount (1/2 cup) to help add some moisture to the dish.

How to Make Crockpot Angel Chicken – Step by Step
Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Add the softened cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing mix, chicken stock, and minced garlic into your slow cooker and mix until well combined.
Add boneless skinless chicken breasts to the crockpot and spoon some of the cream sauce over the chicken.
Cook on high heat for 3-4 hours or low heat for 5-6 hours.
Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and mix with the sauce. Serve over angel hair pasta.
Serving Suggestions
My favorite way to serve Crockpot Angel Chicken is on top of a plate of cooked pasta like angel hair, spaghetti, or fettuccini. It also tastes delicious over mashed potatoes or rice.
And don’t forget to serve your angel chicken with a slice of Air Fryer Garlic Bread or Dutch Oven Bread for soaking up that delicious sauce! I also like to add some veggies on the side, like a simple green salad, some Air Fryer Green Beans, or Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus.
Tips and Notes
- Chicken breasts or chicken thighs will both work great in this recipe and I use either one depending on what I have on hand or what’s available.
- Feel free to use fresh or frozen chicken. If using frozen chicken, you may need to add an additional 1-2 hours to your cooking time.
- Italian dressing mix comes in a packet and can usually be found in the salad dressing aisle next to the dry ranch dressing mix. The brand I buy is Good Seasons. Make sure you use this and NOT Italian seasoning-the spice!
- Add some veggies. This is an easy recipe to add some veggies to, like canned or fresh mushrooms, frozen peas, or chopped broccoli.
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
